Unknown (00:01):
Hi, I'm Angela, Amy.
And hi, I'm Lila and today we'rejoined by Laura Plunkett, who is
an animal communicator. Welcome,Laura. Thank you for coming.
While Laura, so nice to meetyou. So nice to meet you.
Tell us a little bit about howyou began as an animal
(00:22):
communicator?
Well, I should probably start bysaying I was a huge skeptic.
Oh, I love thatI grew up not having any psychic
ability that I knew of. When Iwas 35, I had some experiences
of watching the Red Sox watchingthe Patriots and knowing ahead
(00:42):
of time, all of a sudden,something would shift in me. And
I'd be able to say to myhusband, like, Oh, he's gonna
throw, you know, down thesideline, oh, that's gonna be a
touchdown and things like that,and sort of freaked both of us
out this can't possibly behappening. Yeah. And so I would
say for a while I started tomeditate and get quiet and try
(01:07):
to feel my intuitive selfstarting when I was around 35. I
should say that my whole lifeI've loved animals, and rode
horses from probably three yearsold. And so at some point, let
me think, about 10 years ago, Ihad a pretty major back problem.
(01:29):
And I stopped being able to bewith horses the way I had been
really out at for a while I wasbedridden. And so I had to think
about how else am I going to bewith horses or else I'm just
going to shrivel up and die. Ijust felt so upset about it. And
I started to think about animalcommunication. And I honestly am
(01:52):
guilty of having made jokesabout it, but people were taking
other people's money. ButI'm used to that. I said, I'm
used to that, Laura. Yeah. So Iam not it doesn't really bother
me. I prefer not to be called afortune teller. Like, Lila would
love that. So you know, you knowgypsy I'm okay about you know,
(02:16):
I'm okay about it. Just thefortune teller in the mind
reader. Let the mind reader outlove. So I usually don't correct
unless fortune teller or mindreader comes out? And then I
can't. So I don't I don't knowif if, like you thought of it?
Did you think about it, like,only one in like a million could
(02:39):
do this?
Right. So this is what happened.
My friends got together andsaid, We're gonna go out for a
weekend. And we're gonna learnanimal communication, we went to
a little bit of a conference.
And I stared at the person infront and said, No one in this
(03:01):
room is going to be able to dowhat she's doing. And then
through the course of theweekend, got to see there,
almost every single person inthe room got good information.
Yeah, so I, I, you know, I'm achild medium. And I was born
with the ability to know things,and know that everyone has this
capability. So even from like alittle girl, I remember, not
(03:26):
necessarily feeling special. ButI don't mean it from a negative
sense that I didn't feelspecial, just knowing that we're
all special. But I love thatwe're going to learn more about
how to connect to animals,because my abilities in my gift
are geared towards humans. Butreally energy is energy, right?
(03:47):
So anyone can learn this. So ifyour friends invited you to an
animal communication seminar,you must have spiritual friends.
Right?
I think, as I said, I wasstarting to move in that
direction for about 35. And thenI would say I was in my mid 40s,
when animal communication becamea real thing.
(04:09):
Got it.
Okay. And I had an incredibleexperience that's quick, I could
share with you this weekend. Andone of the practice sessions. I
was given a, we were partnered,and I was given a photo of a
cat. And this gentleman says Kiaand I know nothing about the
cat. And in my head, I hearSomewhere over the rainbow in
(04:30):
beautiful music. And I look athim and I said, and I told him
that and he burst into tears andsaid he sang that song every
single night to his cat untilshe died. Ah
There's no way. There's no way Icould have made that up. Yeah.
(04:51):
And so that was really thebeginning of my openness to this
particular ability.
Okay, And so where did you sothen you went to the seminar,
and then you just started tofeel the calling.
And what I would say is that ittakes practice, just like
(05:12):
anything else. And so for anyonelistening who thinks, Oh, I've
had an experience, maybe I coulddo this, you can do this, it is
real. And the thing is, you needto value it and make time for
it. And that's what I ended updoing.
Beautiful is right.
Yeah. So I have my ownexperience with Laura, Laura
(05:35):
came and spoke to my daughter'shorse who we have spoken about
bow pretty soon after, Clairegot her. And it's been such an
amazing, so I have the recordingof it. And of course, Claire,
and I remember so much of whatLaura said. And as time has
(05:55):
passed, it has just become like,Oh, of course, that happened.
Because we know all of thisabout the horse. And it's, it's
phenomenal. I mean, it's spoton, she said that she was a
little conceited, because she'svery pretty. And like that just
tracks. Princess Belle exam,there's nothing she likes more
(06:17):
than people grooming her andtelling her how pretty she is.
And all of the things that youknow, could be a challenge for
her in terms of that she knowsshe's a good horse. And if you
try and make her do somethingthat she's saying, like, I don't
want to do this, that that'sgoing to be the problem that she
does almost everything. So ifshe says, I'm not into this,
(06:38):
which in particular for hertends to be like puddles,
sprinklers. She doesn't likethem. And I witnessed firsthand
like a trainer saying, No, we'regonna get her through the
sprinkler. And she was like, No,we're actually not going to go
through the spring. So stubborn.
Yeah, well, and she just said,like, what she had said to Laura
was like, I'm a good horse. AndI do everything that you ask of
(06:59):
me. So if there's something thatI say, I don't want to do it
just respect me, which is sobeautiful in some ways. And it's
so funny, because you don'tusually give animals that option
of not listening to you.
Can I mention some memories Ihave of our time together?
Absolutely. Because one thingthat really moved me was that
(07:22):
she said she wanted to play withyour daughter, on, you know,
without a halter without a leadrope just late Leave me be and
I'll run around with you. And wecan play ball. And then you sent
me a video of them doing justthat. And I that gave me such
pleasure to know that she hadbeen able to communicate that to
you. And also then clear followthrough. And the other thing I
(07:45):
remember which comes up quitefrequently in my conversations
is she said when she stands onthat concrete on the cross ties
that it was hurting her, and howmuch better she was able to be
in lessons once you changed whatyou were doing. And I bring that
I bring that second one up.
Because this can be extremelypractical, efficient. And
important. It's not just oh, youknow, you've got a nice horse or
(08:07):
your horse is feeling a littleold, but the practical details,
you know, can save lives canchange situations.
Absolutely. Yeah, that'sbeautiful. So where do you do
here inside your body? Do youknow Do you know the difference?
(08:29):
So what I would say first isjust you know, where you start
isn't where you end up. Okay, soin the beginning, all I had was
sort of like a ticker tape ofinformation, or as I said, that
song that came through, but itfelt very vague and ghosts like
in my head. But now when I'm ina situation, I can say to an
(08:49):
animal, please make my body feelwhat you're feeling. And all of
a sudden, like my right hip willhurt and we go touch the horse
and the horse winces on thathip. Or another thing I can do
is watch with soft eyes and seepain radiating off just if
someone walks their animal byme. And then I hear in my head,
(09:12):
I see all kinds of you know, soI would say now it's pretty lots
of bells and whistles. But whenI started out, I got a lot of
useful information just in onesimple kind of stream in my
mind's eye.
Okay, beautiful. So you'refeeling kinetically inside your
body, but also most likelythrough empathy, but I feel with
(09:38):
you there is some clearsentience happening. So one of
the hardest things so let me letme go here. So most of you
listening to this know that Iteach intuitive development to
humans. And what's beautiful isLara teaches humans how to
connect to animals. And so All,when I teach intuitive
(10:03):
development, it's looking ateach individual human, and how
they connect to energy. So it'snot like one size fits all. So I
don't teach it how I connect. Iteach it across the board. So
clear sentience is the AllKnowing it feels like thoughts
(10:25):
in your mind. But it, it, itfeels the same way as thoughts,
but it has a differentvibration. So we know after you
practice, and you do it for acertain amount of time, there's
a different feeling between ahuman thought in a message from
the animal. It just has like amuch the message from the animal
(10:49):
has a much higher vibration, itfeels lighter. Right. So it's
really cool when you start to doit. When it's kind of electric.
Yeah, like, yeah, yeah.
When it first started to happen,Laura, I mean, what are you? So
you're watching, you know,sports games, and you're
suddenly are you thinking like,I should get into gambling? Or
(11:12):
like, whenwas my husband's first?
Laura's mine still my husband'sfirst go to is Yeah.
But it must be sort of when itstarts to, you know, when you're
like, Oh, they're gonna scoreand they actually score? I mean,
what does that feel like?
Because it's,well, let me can I bring it to
the President a little bit?
(11:34):
Absolutely. So I told you, I'vebeen a horse lover my whole
life. And when I turned 57, Isaid to myself, if I don't do
it, now, I never will. And Iwent on a hunt for a horse. And
I looked for about six months onsuccessfully, just one roadblock
after another each time I saw ahorse I might want to look at.
(11:55):
And then I finally just sort ofstarted praying. Please help. I
don't know what I'm doing downhere on Earth, and knock me over
the head by naming the horsespirit. So I'll know which
horses the right horse room. Sothe next thing I did was go on a
(12:15):
road trip to Pennsylvania. Andlook at a very, you know, I'm
not gonna get into details, butI was not trusting that I had
always I'll show you this.
Always wanted my whole life, abuckskin. Mustang. Just lit look
like this. And I was looking atschool horses that were every
(12:37):
color under the sun, differentbreeds, because I thought I just
need something quiet because I'm57. Right? So I go down to a
rescue in Pennsylvania. Thereare no horses there that fit
anything that I any there wereno horses there that I could
have taken. And then we round acorner and the owner says these
(12:58):
are my private horses. They'renot for sale. And I look and
there she is in the field. And Isay to the woman, what's the
name of that buckskin horse overthere. And she says, Oh, that's
a Mustang. And her name isspirit.
O spirit. Oh, well,they walk back to the car
because I'm a rule, rule person.
(13:20):
And I'm thinking, don't be rude.
Don't be pushy. And then I openthe car door, close it again, I
turn around, I say to the woman,I just need to tell you my
story. I've been looking for ahorse named spirit and you have
a buckskin Mustang. And shesays, and I've done nothing with
her since she was rounded up andI'll sell her to you. Wow. So
now I'll tell you the answer toyour question. Of what so what
(13:43):
happened was you've got anuntouched horse and I need to
get her to Massachusetts. So Igot quiet in my mind in
Massachusetts because how areyou going to get her on a
trailer? And the owner said meand my husband will trailer her
but it's we're gonna have tohurt her and you know heard her
(14:04):
and it was pouring rain and theywere supposed to leave by 1030
and so at about 830 At night Iget really quiet in my mind and
in my mind's eye connect to her.
And I say Honey, you know if youcould just please get on the
trailer I show her the trailer.
So they go out leave themselvesa half hour to get around the
(14:25):
trailer. They had backed it upto the gate of the pasture they
go out in the driving rain inthe dark. And there she is
standing at the gate in front ofthe trailer of lateral herd.
She's out with two other horsesbut she wasn't with them. She
was alone at the gates soakingwet, not even under the overhang
and they open the gate and sheloaded onto the trailer they had
(14:48):
to back her off so that theycould get it ready and then they
they let her get back on and shegot on Wow. So when you say like
What's it feel like to get Uh,you know, it was just that's the
epitome of what's possible,right. And then we get to the I
moved to go be with her with atrainer because I wasn't going
(15:09):
to send her by yourself and I,so he trained me to work with
her. And she's terrified oftrailers, we had to start from
the very beginning. But thatnight when I told her what was
at stake she got on.
So I'd like to speak aboutconnection. And so you're
talking a lot, that's such abeautiful story about
(15:30):
connection. And there's, youknow, a lot of animal lovers
listening to this. And, youknow, as an animal lover, we all
live with animals, and we feelvery connected with them. But
then this is like the nextlevel. So this is how I feel
(15:54):
with people. I don't take forgranted my intimate, like, the
intimate energetic ability thatI have. I honor it, I respect
it. And I truly feel it's ablessing. And so all humans have
the capability to connect toanimals this way, where you
(16:16):
could have an enriched life, ofconnection with your animal, or
an enriched life with yourconnection with the humans that
you live with, or the humansthat are around you, where we
can connect to them throughspace and time. And so I just
wanted to add to your beautifulstory. I do this with the deer.
(16:39):
So So I love I love this. Iactually don't have any animals.
And I don't have any animals. Ilove animals, because I go from
thing to thing to thing. And itwouldn't be fair for me to have
an animal. And so I That's why Ichoose at this point in my life
not to have animals. And myhusband agrees because we go
(17:01):
from thing to thing to thing.
But I do live in a very naturedriven area. And so we get Dr.
Wildlife, all kinds of beautifulanimals. So I call the deer in
my mind's eye. And I just, Ijust love it. And I don't even
like think of myself like ananimal communicator. So I guess
(17:23):
most people don'tbe after today.
Lila, do you do this at all? Areyou connected to those turtles?
Do we need to bring back up theturtles?
I don't. You know, I mean, Ithink that, you know, it's
really just based around thatlike time and stillness, you
(17:45):
know, like that. Especially, Imean, I think it would be
different in the horsesituation, because I'm very, I
try to be very aware of my ownenergy when I go to horses
because I feel like there. Butlike my cat who's just lying
around like no, I don't think,oh, wait a minute, wait a
minute, you've rescued a cat offthe rails. And I will tell you
that not only did I so we had acat, a different cat that we had
(18:09):
found in our backyard. Mydaughter found it. We took it in
he was a grown cat and therescue that trapped him for us
that will only trap him ifyou'll keep them so we're like
fine. We'll keep him he was likean old cat. He just wanted a
nice warm place to lie down. Sheloved him Tibet's he was old
when we got him got sick. pastyou know had to be put down. One
(18:31):
week later, I'm on the railtrail running. And for the first
time ever, I see a cat. And I'mlike, Ah, that's so weird. You
never see cats out here. And Ican't it's an Outback. So I keep
going. On my way back. There'sthe cat. He's on the other side
of the rail trail. And he'ssitting there and he's like
waiting. And as I slow down, hestarts meowing talking to me.
(18:52):
Yeah. And I'm like, Oh my gosh,what a funny cat comes right up
to me stands up on me. Likebizarre like cats don't do that.
Like this is the funniest cat.
And so because the girls weresad, I actually went home ran
home, got the girls drove backthere and brought them to show
(19:12):
them this funny cat like haha,Isn't he so cute? We snuggled
with him. We left like two dayslater, my daughter Grace is
like, do you think that catstarts raining? She's like, do
you think that cat is still outthere? And I'm like, No, he was
somebody's caddy had a collar.
He had a name tag. So I'm like,No. Well, it's raining so I
can't get it out of my head. SoI'm like, well, let's just go
(19:33):
we'll go and see if he's in thesame spot. Go to the exact same
spot sitting right there is thecat.
He knew you were coming. That'swhat Laura and I are going to
tell you. He picked you. Oh, hetotally picked us. I mean, no
doubt about it. But I called hisowner they had moved they had
left him on the rail trail. AndI was just like, how can you do
(19:55):
this? Like how can you leave himI'm like okay, fine. Now we have
a cat IHe knew he knew that if he if he
went back to that spot you werecoming. It was crazy. Mama's
coming. But what was funny wasthat actually, our mutual friend
had seen the very cat the daybefore. And he was talking to
everybody like, Well, anybodymade the real mother step
(20:18):
forward.
And I was like, Okay, I guessthis is my cat. Yeah, but we've
had him ever since. And thefunny thing is, he's never once
tried to go for the door. He'slike, Oh, I know what it's like.
I'm saying, oh, that's crazy.
You mentioned something reallyinteresting. The thing about
watching your energy, and thenworking with it when you're with
(20:41):
horses, you said, yep. And I andI do think that animals need us
to pay attention and to watchour own energy. And and I have a
little story from this morning,I was walking out of the barn
with spirit. And I had beenthinking about a friend that
I've lost recently. So I waspretty sad. And she was fine.
(21:05):
Her ears were forward. We'rewalking along. And then I get
out of the barn, and I run intosomeone I haven't seen in a long
time. And my voice goes up anoctave. This is all in
hindsight, I noticed. And I'mlike, Hi acting, very cheerful.
Look over and she's got her earsback like this. She's miserable,
her jaws tight. And so Istopped. And I said to the
(21:27):
people up, I did it again. I'msorry. I was feeling sad. And
she knows it. And now I'm fakingthat I'm fine. And I'm sad. And
her ears went forward bolt. Andthen I was able to say, but I'm
completely excited to see youglad to run into you. And
someone might have said, Oh,look what a brat she is. Or
(21:48):
she's being uncooperative. Butno, she didn't really want to be
standing right next to me when Iwas being fake. Do you know what
I mean? We have this opportunityfor these animals to change our
lives. And help us be better.
And so part of being open. And,Amy, you'll you'll know this
that one of the hardest thingsis just quieting your mind
(22:09):
enough to notice and to beright.
Yeah. So I have this littlething, a couple things that I do
when I teach people how toconnect. And the first thing is
we need to connect to ouremotions. I must say I don't
take everyone in my classes, I'mactually really picky. Because
(22:33):
you have to be ready. And wealso have to be ready. Certain
things need to take place sothat you attract light and
bright energies to so if ifsomeone's not ready, there's I
have suggestions. But whenyou're ready to get ready to get
on the path, right? And so whenyou're on the path, even if you
(22:56):
tap like the side of your eye,so not on the temple, in tapping
you it takes you inside yourbody, because you can hear it.
And this helps people that sayhow do I feel what what I need
to feel. And if you listen, youcan hear within yourself, the
(23:18):
tapping on the face starts totake you within yourself. It's
also very soothing. And so thisis the first step is really
listening to, you know, youryour feelings and how you feel
in honoring them. And you justtalked more about how you did
know how you felt. But we tendto hide for other people, when
(23:43):
that's part of our society is Idon't want you know, these are
acquaintance friends, and Idon't want them to know I'm sad,
right? Where you know, Lila andI have gotten quite close
through this experience of thispodcast, in Lila and I now tell
each other kinda like having ayuck day. I'm having a great
day, I'm having a blog day. Andit's very real. But it's, you
(24:06):
know, a testament to theseanimals, how they can bring out
the true authentic parts ofourselves that we hide in daily
life. And so like we heard yourcat when we first came on, and
your cat was probably like thistwo new ladies on the scene, I'm
feeling these these two ladies.
And you know, maybe like What'sthis all about? I can't see him
(24:29):
but I can feel them. You know,you just don't know until you
tune in and listen, per yardprofession, which I love.
And I was just gonna say likethere's so many sort of
practical purposes for this. Ithink about like animals that
are in shelters and are sort ofdismissed for behaviors that you
(24:50):
know, may or may not be like apermanent behavior that they
would have or like how useful itwould be for somebody with a
skill. Like you worse to come inand to help them, you know,
because people at at a shelter,I assume, you know, they make a
decision like that right? Like,yes, no, yes, no. And, you know,
dogs are, you know, mayberounded up from somewhere they'd
(25:13):
been out, you know, and theycould be scared or whatever, it
just seems like it'd be veryuseful to have somebody talking
to them.
I believe that almost allanimals can be rehabilitated. I
don't know, if you feel thatway, Laura. I also feel that the
majority, not all humans can berehabilitated as well. That's my
(25:36):
own personal Angel. Amy take?
Yeah. Well, Idefinitely get the majority of
my calls when there's an issue,right? Same here.
And yes, I, I do think thatsometimes rescues are one of the
places that you see the mostchange immediately, because they
(25:56):
finally get to talk about theirhistory. And so for example,
this week, I this Saturday, I'mgoing to the home of somebody
who has a rescue dog that islovely to all the family members
except her. And I imagine frommy past experiences that when I
talked to this dog, that in thehistory somewhere will have been
(26:20):
a woman that looks like her orsmells like her or something
that was not nice to the dog.
And that once this dog gets totell me about it, the behavior
will change. It's just likepeople, they want to get it off
their chest, oftentimes, I mighthave to say, Can you please look
at your new owner and see thatthat's a different face. Right,
that's a different energy,that's a different person,
(26:43):
because they carry the traumaforward. Wow, a lot of barking,
you know, dogs that bark, dogsthat
a trigger or wound, right. Butwe can't really move forward
until we move back a little bit.
So you gently show them there'sa wound, right? But now this,
(27:04):
this is a new owner and a lovelyperson that isn't part of that
wound. In some animals need tobe told that. And humans need to
be reminded of that, too. We dowhat's called displaced anger,
like when we just get angry, butyou're not really angry at the
person. It's great when I lookat someone and I say, you're not
(27:26):
really angry at me. Andsometimes it makes them more
angry. You think you're angry atme, but you're not really angry
at me? Yeah, that's beautiful.
So you go in and you tell the,you know, connect to the animal
and just remind them thatthey're in a safe space and that
they're loved in this new energyin this home, right?
(27:50):
It's both. I talk a lot aboutsending information and
listening. And it's firstlistening. So anytime I ever
connect with an animal, I alwayssay what would you like to talk
about? I make sure I don't knowanything about that animal
unless it's one of mine. And soif it's someone somewhere else
in the country, or anothercountry, they send me a
(28:11):
photograph, if I'm in theperson's life like with when I
saw Claire and Belle, then Iasked the owner not to tell me
anything, because that will getyour thinking mind going more
difficult. Yeah. And then Iconnect with the animal and I
say, please start talking liketell me anything you want to
(28:31):
know, I'm here with your mom oryour dad or your family. And I
let them start. And that'susually where the issue will
come up. So it would be I lovemy family, but I know they don't
like my barking and I want totell them why I bark or, you
know, I love this barn. But Ican't get along with any of the
(28:53):
other horses or you know,whatever it is.
What is your favorite story thatyou have or a favorite? Like
Jeff's gonna say, Oh, no way.
I'm a mind reader. I love that.
There's so many I'll tell you afunny one. I was called to talk
(29:14):
to two goats. They lived on afarm. They peed all over the
yard. So there were yellowcircles everywhere. And they
pooped on the deck loudly and sothe deck every night every day
had to be swept and in betweenthe boards was good. And the
(29:36):
owners were like we want toleave you out and give you
freedom, but this cannotcontinue right.
So I said listen, I haven'ttalked to goats before. Now I
have talked to many goats andactually they're incredibly
easy. They give up theirbehaviors easier than I would
say dogs or horses. But anyway,interesting.
(29:56):
I talked to them and I I said,What's going on, and the goats
said they love to poop on thedeck because you can hear it
fall. If anyone knows aboutghost, goat poop, it's little
hard balls and they hit. Andthey love to hear how much
they're making. And then thepeeing on the lawn. They just
this is what they wanted to do.
So I explained to them, yourowners don't like it. These are
(30:19):
the reasons. And the goat saysto me, what do you want us to
do? What are we supposed to do?
And the owner said, Go in thehorse stalls. So I have to tell
these goats who are free rangegoats that every time they need
to go they're going into. And ofcourse, I always start by
saying, Listen, I am imperfect.
At this, I make mistakes, youhave to filter everything you
(30:41):
hear through my voice throughyour own common sense before you
act on it. Right? And I also sayto these people, listen, I
cannot guarantee any behaviorchange here at all right? I get
a call from the owners later,the goats are driving them
crazy. Because every time theyhave to go to the bathroom, they
stand in the barn aisle, andthey bar for the door to get
(31:01):
open so they can go back.
We stopped there earlier stuff.
I mean, you can't even make thatup night. That is hilarious. Now
tell me this as as a psychic?
Are you telling them with yourwords? Are you telling them in
your mind's eye? You're tellingthem from from, like intention
(31:23):
inside your body? Are youvisualizing a conversation? You
know, I'm so into this.
So for me, what I would say andto anyone listening is pictures
are the best. It's a universallanguage. Yeah. So in this case,
all you would need to do is showthem pooping on the deck in your
(31:46):
mind's eye, right? Just play itas a movie. And then like with a
big cross over, you know, like,stop, and then show them in the
in the stall happy going to thebathroom in there. So I think
that's the easiest way, I thinknow that I've been doing this so
long, it's probably more of justconversation. But the but lots
(32:09):
of my students, they just usepictures, and it works awesome.
And then the beautiful thingabout that is you try it, you
see the results in real life,and you get hooked on the fact
Oh, I can do this. Yeah,it's rewarding, right? That it's
a result driven activity, orresult driven life path or
career path. I actually do thiswith in mediumship. I, you know,
(32:33):
when your grandmother comes in,or your dad, it's usually, you
know, if cause of death isnatural causes, then they'll
they'll stand and in my mind'seye, I see things and see images
and feel. But if someone passesfrom, let's say, a drug overdose
or a suicide, I actually have togain trust. And so it's much
(32:57):
more work for me, but veryrewarding, where I visualize
them at a bar, and I take theperson to a bar, and we sit on a
bar stool, and I pretend we bothhave a cocktail. And then from
there, I start to show them, I'mhuman, I'm not perfect, either,
(33:18):
that I carry negative humanemotions as well. And then the
energy starts to open up. Andthat's when I get the
information. So it's kind oflike my little trek is the exact
same thing. And I could see whyyou have to do this with animals
as well. Just to get on theirsame energetic playing field,
(33:41):
and then you uplift from there.
Right. So that's really neat.
I'm glad you explain that to us.
Thank you,Laura, when people start, are
they like with the animal? Like,if you wanted to talk to your
dog or cat? Do they have to belike in the room with you? Or
can they suggest not becauseit's so distracting? Oh, okay.
(34:05):
So when I had, I have made anaudio course called speaking
soul to soul. And when I when Ibuilt each exercise, it was
always you know, have a pen andpaper ready. Make sure you have
enough time. Find a place whereyou won't be interrupted, let
(34:26):
your eyes closed, let your bodynot hurt, get it, get it in a
relaxed state. And I help peoplequiet their mind. And then we do
the exercise. And I would saythat that's really important
because in the beginning, when Iwas learning this, you know, you
get distracted the phone ringsor somebody says something or
(34:48):
sneezes and all of a sudden, ohboy, I can't even concentrate
anymore. I've lost theconnection. And so and now I can
do it a grocery store. You know,it's like you dig a channel and
it's it's easy for I think Ithink that starting out is a
blessing. They give yourselfthat quiet time. And here's the
thing, animals do this with eachother all the time. They're good
(35:09):
at it. Yeah, we just have to getgood at it. So the animal,
wherever, if you have a dog andyour dogs in the living room,
and you're in your bedroom,relaxing, that dog knows how to
send any messages as far away asyou need, you just need to be
able to receive them. So that'swhat how I would describe why
it's important to not bedistracted and not be with your
(35:30):
animal in the beginning.
Wow. That's interesting.
That is interesting. Yeah. Doyou have any other stories you
want to share with us, Laura,there are so many beautiful
moments that are a point atwhich you realize that the
person and the animal areunderstanding each other. So I
(35:52):
want to try to remember a storywhere it's just that moment of
connection. I know one, I wastalking to a horse that had been
an Amish carthorse. And thosehorses have a purpose, right,
they have a job to do. And thatmight mean go 10 miles to town.
And this horse had an owner, whothought the horse was shut down,
(36:18):
didn't like her. The horsewould, if you let the horse
loose, would turn its back, andtry to get as far away from the
person as possible to relax,didn't find it, relaxing to be
with her owner. So I get quietin my mind. And, of course, I
didn't know this background atthe time, but I'm trying to
(36:39):
explain that. What she said is,no matter what she did, it was
never enough. That's how sheinterpreted it, she had blinders
on. So she couldn't look orprotect herself. She had to just
go no matter whether it hurt ornot. And if she slowed down,
there was the whip. And so shedidn't matter. She was a vehicle
(37:01):
in that situation. And so theonly rest she got is when they
would put her back in her stall,and she would get super quiet
and rest, or if she was out, butand people were never the
answer. And the moment at whichthat owner really stopped taking
it personally, and thought, Howdo I become like, I could cry
(37:23):
now? Like how do I be calm.
I'm gonna cry tothat safe space for this horse
who has no hope that I'm goingto be that it became, I'm going
to scratch her just where shewants to be scratched, I'm going
to give her a carrot. I'm goingto ask her to do something that
takes two minutes, and thenwe're done. You know, all the
(37:45):
things she could do sit thereand take a they're these fly
squishes and just keep the fliesoffer. You know. And so that was
a moment at which they were ableto stop this impasse and start
to befriend each other. And it'sthat's the kind of magic that it
just warms your heartthat is magical is no story. It
(38:07):
is beautiful. When I was in my20s We we had a family dog. His
name was Dylan. And he was agolden retriever. So he was a
redhead. And we're all likeredheads and my family. So we
called him like the fourth Fox.
(38:27):
So my maiden name is Fox.
There's three of us and thenDylan was the fourth and around
six or eight I think it waseight. He had kidney disease.
And he went into kidney failurewhich is kind of common with
Goldie's and he was very, very,very special, very intuitive,
very. I remember energetically,I actually felt he was my
(38:56):
sibling more than my human to.
And so he like if he had livedor had a different life. He
would have been a therapy dog.
He came to us at two so we hadhim from two to eight. So when
the day came, we had to putDelon down, my mom in the men
left my brother and my dadcouldn't handle it, which is
(39:20):
fine. And my mom and my sisterwho aka of the strong ones at
the time, just couldn'temotionally just we're done. So
I get Dylan into the car. I putmy mother and my sister in the
car I drive in I take every thefour of us to put him down at
(39:42):
the vet. And when we got to thevet, my mom is very, very strong
willed woman and my sister istwo. They both looked at me and
they said I can't go in withthem. So I went in with them.
And he them So I told them withmy words that this is your end
of life. And I'm gonna cry, I'mgonna cry and I am going to help
(40:08):
you crossover. And so we cantake this out if we have to Lila
Oh, so I knelt down on the floornext to him. And he started to
cross over before he was evereuthanized. He just he knew and
like, I just rememberenergetically going with them.
(40:30):
But I had such peace because hispassing was peaceful and he
didn't suffer. So I've kind oftaken that. He taught me that
now moving forward, especiallywith humans, that I just feel my
own personal belief system isthat no one deserves to die in
pain. I believe that animalsdeserve to die with dignity. And
(40:54):
I believe humans deserve to diewith dignity. And that's just
what Dylan came to teach me.
Among many other things, I'msorry, I made you cry. Yeah, so
he was a beautiful soul. And soI've had left a few surgeries in
my lifetime because I am now inmy late 40s And those things
(41:14):
happen. And every time he comesto me Olara and he lays next
like I can feel him I mean, I ama medium we know this but it's
just just everyone anyonelistening to this if this makes
it onto the podcast just knowyour your deceased animals are
(41:34):
with you at all times in justthinking about them calls them
in. And so I hope that bringssomeone peace that's listen, you
know, that's listening to this.
Because it's hard to lose ourour pets and our animals. You
Yeah. So on that bright light,no, sorry, Lila. Alright. So
take that out. I'm so sorry.
(42:00):
Lila,you know, in some ways, that is
a happy story. Because you didwhat your what your dog really
needed from you. And you werethere and your dog wasn't alone.
I think that's very, verybeautiful.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Sojust leaning into like, it
needed to be about him and notthe humans. Right, because of
(42:21):
course, we would keep himforever. But that's not what he
needed. And I think he can teachus all that is like how to
release someone you love withlove. It's so hard. It's you
know, when they punch you in theface and you hate their guts.
It's like really easy to be likeBye, Felicia. But then when
(42:42):
they're just like these, likebeautiful, soft little, you
know, animals or Dylan was like90 pounds. But, you know, he was
he was a really, I almost saidgood person. Like, I feel like a
person was inside of thereinside his body. Yeah. Well,
I think that's one thing aboutanimal communication is that you
(43:03):
start to realize these animalshave a full range of emotions,
full life, memories, hopes anddreams or reason for being with
you. Aches and pains, wishes.
There's just this, this hugeamount. Sometimes when I have a
new client, I speak to thatanimal for a whole hour.
Usually, because there's so it'sso rich.
(43:28):
What so what do they take youthrough their day? I'm not being
fresh. That was a long time. Butit happens. Usually I will when
a client calls they say, youknow, start making a list of
your questions and yourconcerns. Because after I
listened to what the animalwants to say, then the person
gets to ask anything they wantand also tell the animal
(43:53):
anything they want, right? Butoftentimes, what the animal
talks about is the person'slist. Because they're not
stupid. So by the time I say,Okay, and what questions do you
have, a lot of times a personwill say, Well, I just have this
one little thing I'm going awaynext week, can you tell them but
other than that, you know, thethings that are of monumental
importance, or oftentimes ananimal will start by saying, I
(44:17):
love my owner, but we're havingsome miscommunication, that kind
of thing. Yeah, so they get itand they know what they want to
talk about. So not not It's notusually what I do in a day, like
you said, but it is the brasstacks. I had I had a dog in
(44:37):
France. You won't believethis story. I just I love
there's so many differentstories but darling friend
says she's making me thisabsolutely disgusting. Food that
is meat covered and fat. And Ihad to say this to this woman
I've never met she's on thephone me and I say I see this
(44:59):
bowl. or, and it's just it'salmost like a little bit of a
hamburger cooked. And thenthere's just this fat. She's
gonna think I'm crazy into this.
Oh, yeah, the vet says he needsmore fat in his diet. And so I'm
making these things. And then Ihad to say, you know, you this,
this is why he's not eating itbecause it's just disgusting to
him. Yeah, it's very, it getsvery funny.
(45:23):
It is, I'm sure. And so theyteach us to how to meet them in
the middle. And or meet themwhere they are, right, how to
meet the animal where they are.
And then also, how to have adeeper understanding. Because a
lot of people get findthemselves in a country, like a
(45:44):
control battle, like withanimals, and it just becomes
about control, like who'swinning, you're not doing what I
said. And instead, we can justmeet each other in the middle.
Do your cats do this? Well, nowwe've we've we've brought a
daisy into your life. Right,Lila?
(46:04):
Well, and that's, you know, oneof the things that I'm trying to
do differently with Daisy thanI've done with any other dog is
trying to as opposed to you havethis weird mentality. I think,
like, you gotta make the dog dowhat you want, like a well
behaved dog does exactly what Isay no matter what, you know,
and, and she's very sort oftimid. And so if you, you know,
(46:28):
raise your voice or anything toher, you know, she's like, Oh,
and you feel awful. So I'm like,Oh, God, I had a point of never
doing that. But just allowing itto be okay, that she doesn't
like snap to what I say. Nomatter what, you know what I
mean? Like, obviously, if shewas like, running out into
traffic, like that would be adifferent story. But most of
this stuff is like, stop eatingmy shoe. Or, you know, I mean,
(46:50):
it's, it's pretty trivial. Butit's a weird mindset. Because
you don't you you think a welltrained dog just does exactly
what you say no, no matter what.
RYAN It's very one way. Yeah,totally. That's what we're
learning from Laura, right. Allof us is a two way
street. The number one thingthat I run into when there's
(47:13):
what we would call misbehavioris pain. Oh, which then makes
the animalirritable? Is it physical pain,
or emotional pain, or,most often is physical pain,
okay? And that could be forcats, too. You know, she's
really snappy, she's this andthen I get quiet in my mind. And
cat has a terrible stomach acheor has some kind of issue that
(47:35):
you can't see. So physical painis a big one. And I would say to
people listening, you know,trust your gut, if you feel like
there's something off about youranimal, then really try to
pursue what you think that mightbe, and get it looked at and
taken care of. So yeah, physicalpain causes irritability, which
then causes you know, anxiety,which then causes barking, or
(48:01):
kicking or scratching, whateverhappens, because when a animal
feels less than it's that kindof thought of a wild animal
trapped in a corner or trappedin a trap. They get frantic, and
then they their personalitychanges. Do you know what I'm
saying? Oh, I'll talk to a horsethat people label aggressive.
(48:25):
And it turns out, they've gotlike a monumental headache. And
it's because they slammed theirhead against the trailer. And
now the bones of their head areslightly off. And so they've
been not right, since but you goto a chiropractor, or you get
the vet to do an x ray. And allof a sudden, you realize, oh,
yeah, this is what it is, andyou fix it. And the personality
(48:45):
goes back to what it was before.
Wow.
Yeah, so I tell my husband thatthe reason why I can't pull the
lottery numbers is because Iwould take all the money and
release the orcas at SeaWorldand set them free, or hire
(49:09):
people that could gently getthem ready to be released.
Right? Because that I'm surethat's a process. So we don't
have to lean into that becausewe don't need to be sued by
Disney, but whoever, whoever itis, whoever owns SeaWorld, but I
you know, I just think thatanimals this is this opens all
(49:31):
of our eyes to how sensitiveanimals are and how maybe
ignorant we are as humans andhow, like this is 2022 and we're
on we you know, right now we'rekind of touching the surface
with this, but this little GenZ's and alpha generation are
(49:52):
built for your world. Like thisis their right in tune with the
animals and communicating withthem. and feeling the vibes.
They they're just they're gonnatake SeaWorld down you wait.
That's my own personal opinion Iget a little passionate. Yeah.
So this was great it was I know.
So glad you came today, Laura. Ireally enjoyed it. Yeah. So how
(50:18):
can people find you contact youlearn about more, you know,
learn about what you do.
So I have a website. It's www LPor Plunkett LP connections.com.
And that has some greatresources. There's a blog, I try
(50:39):
to write about things that willhelp people do this work. We
have a Friends of LP connectionFacebook group, so that people
can write in and ask questionsand help each other with their
animals and practice. And then Ilike I said, I have this
speaking soul to soul audiocourse, that's available. And
so. And what I would say aboutthat course, is that it's
(51:03):
important to understandeverybody can do this. You don't
need a course, you have aninnate ability to open.
Sometimes having someone leadyou through it, as I did that
first weekend, helps you unlock.
So if you're listening, and youfeel like I just need a tool, I
just need a next step, then thiswould be a way to do it, which
(51:26):
is go and there's a video on thewebsite that explains what you
get. And we were just jokingbefore the before the podcast
started that I'll put a couponin. If you write in ginger tea,
you can have 25% off. So withthe body, of course will cost 75
instead of 90. Thank you.
(51:51):
Yeah.
So we'll do that for listeners.
And if you take anything fromthis, I just think it's start to
be open in your heart, quiet inyour mind when you're around any
animals. Like you said, it couldbe the deer, it could be a bird
that lands near you, it could beyour own animals. But the more
that we just become present, andpay attention to what they're
(52:13):
communicating. It just opens upa whole new heart space, and
it's really a beautifulexperience.
That's uplifting. Yeah, that'shopeful. Right. Well, thank you
so much for being here. Andthank you everyone for

well
Hi, I'm Angela, Amy.
And hi, I'm Lila and today we'rejoined by Laura Plunkett, who is
an animal communicator. Welcome,Laura. Thank you for coming.
While Laura, so nice to meetyou. So nice to meet you.
Tell us a little bit about howyou began as an animal
(00:22):
communicator?
Well, I should probably start bysaying I was a huge skeptic.
Oh, I love thatI grew up not having any psychic
ability that I knew of. When Iwas 35, I had some experiences
of watching the Red Sox watchingthe Patriots and knowing ahead
(00:42):
of time, all of a sudden,something would shift in me. And
I'd be able to say to myhusband, like, Oh, he's gonna
throw, you know, down thesideline, oh, that's gonna be a
touchdown and things like that,and sort of freaked both of us
out this can't possibly behappening. Yeah. And so I would
say for a while I started tomeditate and get quiet and try
(01:07):
to feel my intuitive selfstarting when I was around 35. I
should say that my whole lifeI've loved animals, and rode
horses from probably three yearsold. And so at some point, let
me think, about 10 years ago, Ihad a pretty major back problem.
(01:29):
And I stopped being able to bewith horses the way I had been
really out at for a while I wasbedridden. And so I had to think
about how else am I going to bewith horses or else I'm just
going to shrivel up and die. Ijust felt so upset about it. And
I started to think about animalcommunication. And I honestly am
(01:52):
guilty of having made jokesabout it, but people were taking
other people's money. ButI'm used to that. I said, I'm
used to that, Laura. Yeah. So Iam not it doesn't really bother
me. I prefer not to be called afortune teller. Like, Lila would
love that. So you know, you knowgypsy I'm okay about you know,
(02:16):
I'm okay about it. Just thefortune teller in the mind
reader. Let the mind reader outlove. So I usually don't correct
unless fortune teller or mindreader comes out? And then I
can't. So I don't I don't knowif if, like you thought of it?
Did you think about it, like,only one in like a million could
(02:39):
do this?
Right. So this is what happened.
My friends got together andsaid, We're gonna go out for a
weekend. And we're gonna learnanimal communication, we went to
a little bit of a conference.
And I stared at the person infront and said, No one in this
(03:01):
room is going to be able to dowhat she's doing. And then
through the course of theweekend, got to see there,
almost every single person inthe room got good information.
Yeah, so I, I, you know, I'm achild medium. And I was born
with the ability to know things,and know that everyone has this
capability. So even from like alittle girl, I remember, not
(03:26):
necessarily feeling special. ButI don't mean it from a negative
sense that I didn't feelspecial, just knowing that we're
all special. But I love thatwe're going to learn more about
how to connect to animals,because my abilities in my gift
are geared towards humans. Butreally energy is energy, right?
(03:47):
So anyone can learn this. So ifyour friends invited you to an
animal communication seminar,you must have spiritual friends.
Right?
I think, as I said, I wasstarting to move in that
direction for about 35. And thenI would say I was in my mid 40s,
when animal communication becamea real thing.
(04:09):
Got it.
Okay. And I had an incredibleexperience that's quick, I could
share with you this weekend. Andone of the practice sessions. I
was given a, we were partnered,and I was given a photo of a
cat. And this gentleman says Kiaand I know nothing about the
cat. And in my head, I hearSomewhere over the rainbow in
(04:30):
beautiful music. And I look athim and I said, and I told him
that and he burst into tears andsaid he sang that song every
single night to his cat untilshe died. Ah
There's no way. There's no way Icould have made that up. Yeah.
(04:51):
And so that was really thebeginning of my openness to this
particular ability.
Okay, And so where did you sothen you went to the seminar,
and then you just started tofeel the calling.
And what I would say is that ittakes practice, just like
(05:12):
anything else. And so for anyonelistening who thinks, Oh, I've
had an experience, maybe I coulddo this, you can do this, it is
real. And the thing is, you needto value it and make time for
it. And that's what I ended updoing.
Beautiful is right.
Yeah. So I have my ownexperience with Laura, Laura
(05:35):
came and spoke to my daughter'shorse who we have spoken about
bow pretty soon after, Clairegot her. And it's been such an
amazing, so I have the recordingof it. And of course, Claire,
and I remember so much of whatLaura said. And as time has
(05:55):
passed, it has just become like,Oh, of course, that happened.
Because we know all of thisabout the horse. And it's, it's
phenomenal. I mean, it's spoton, she said that she was a
little conceited, because she'svery pretty. And like that just
tracks. Princess Belle exam,there's nothing she likes more
(06:17):
than people grooming her andtelling her how pretty she is.
And all of the things that youknow, could be a challenge for
her in terms of that she knowsshe's a good horse. And if you
try and make her do somethingthat she's saying, like, I don't
want to do this, that that'sgoing to be the problem that she
does almost everything. So ifshe says, I'm not into this,
(06:38):
which in particular for hertends to be like puddles,
sprinklers. She doesn't likethem. And I witnessed firsthand
like a trainer saying, No, we'regonna get her through the
sprinkler. And she was like, No,we're actually not going to go
through the spring. So stubborn.
Yeah, well, and she just said,like, what she had said to Laura
was like, I'm a good horse. AndI do everything that you ask of
(06:59):
me. So if there's something thatI say, I don't want to do it
just respect me, which is sobeautiful in some ways. And it's
so funny, because you don'tusually give animals that option
of not listening to you.
Can I mention some memories Ihave of our time together?
Absolutely. Because one thingthat really moved me was that
(07:22):
she said she wanted to play withyour daughter, on, you know,
without a halter without a leadrope just late Leave me be and
I'll run around with you. And wecan play ball. And then you sent
me a video of them doing justthat. And I that gave me such
pleasure to know that she hadbeen able to communicate that to
you. And also then clear followthrough. And the other thing I
(07:45):
remember which comes up quitefrequently in my conversations
is she said when she stands onthat concrete on the cross ties
that it was hurting her, and howmuch better she was able to be
in lessons once you changed whatyou were doing. And I bring that
I bring that second one up.
Because this can be extremelypractical, efficient. And
important. It's not just oh, youknow, you've got a nice horse or
(08:07):
your horse is feeling a littleold, but the practical details,
you know, can save lives canchange situations.
Absolutely. Yeah, that'sbeautiful. So where do you do
here inside your body? Do youknow Do you know the difference?
(08:29):
So what I would say first isjust you know, where you start
isn't where you end up. Okay, soin the beginning, all I had was
sort of like a ticker tape ofinformation, or as I said, that
song that came through, but itfelt very vague and ghosts like
in my head. But now when I'm ina situation, I can say to an
(08:49):
animal, please make my body feelwhat you're feeling. And all of
a sudden, like my right hip willhurt and we go touch the horse
and the horse winces on thathip. Or another thing I can do
is watch with soft eyes and seepain radiating off just if
someone walks their animal byme. And then I hear in my head,
(09:12):
I see all kinds of you know, soI would say now it's pretty lots
of bells and whistles. But whenI started out, I got a lot of
useful information just in onesimple kind of stream in my
mind's eye.
Okay, beautiful. So you'refeeling kinetically inside your
body, but also most likelythrough empathy, but I feel with
(09:38):
you there is some clearsentience happening. So one of
the hardest things so let me letme go here. So most of you
listening to this know that Iteach intuitive development to
humans. And what's beautiful isLara teaches humans how to
connect to animals. And so All,when I teach intuitive
(10:03):
development, it's looking ateach individual human, and how
they connect to energy. So it'snot like one size fits all. So I
don't teach it how I connect. Iteach it across the board. So
clear sentience is the AllKnowing it feels like thoughts
(10:25):
in your mind. But it, it, itfeels the same way as thoughts,
but it has a differentvibration. So we know after you
practice, and you do it for acertain amount of time, there's
a different feeling between ahuman thought in a message from
the animal. It just has like amuch the message from the animal
(10:49):
has a much higher vibration, itfeels lighter. Right. So it's
really cool when you start to doit. When it's kind of electric.
Yeah, like, yeah, yeah.
When it first started to happen,Laura, I mean, what are you? So
you're watching, you know,sports games, and you're
suddenly are you thinking like,I should get into gambling? Or
(11:12):
like, whenwas my husband's first?
Laura's mine still my husband'sfirst go to is Yeah.
But it must be sort of when itstarts to, you know, when you're
like, Oh, they're gonna scoreand they actually score? I mean,
what does that feel like?
Because it's,well, let me can I bring it to
the President a little bit?
(11:34):
Absolutely. So I told you, I'vebeen a horse lover my whole
life. And when I turned 57, Isaid to myself, if I don't do
it, now, I never will. And Iwent on a hunt for a horse. And
I looked for about six months onsuccessfully, just one roadblock
after another each time I saw ahorse I might want to look at.
(11:55):
And then I finally just sort ofstarted praying. Please help. I
don't know what I'm doing downhere on Earth, and knock me over
the head by naming the horsespirit. So I'll know which
horses the right horse room. Sothe next thing I did was go on a
(12:15):
road trip to Pennsylvania. Andlook at a very, you know, I'm
not gonna get into details, butI was not trusting that I had
always I'll show you this.
Always wanted my whole life, abuckskin. Mustang. Just lit look
like this. And I was looking atschool horses that were every
(12:37):
color under the sun, differentbreeds, because I thought I just
need something quiet because I'm57. Right? So I go down to a
rescue in Pennsylvania. Thereare no horses there that fit
anything that I any there wereno horses there that I could
have taken. And then we round acorner and the owner says these
(12:58):
are my private horses. They'renot for sale. And I look and
there she is in the field. And Isay to the woman, what's the
name of that buckskin horse overthere. And she says, Oh, that's
a Mustang. And her name isspirit.
O spirit. Oh, well,they walk back to the car
because I'm a rule, rule person.
(13:20):
And I'm thinking, don't be rude.
Don't be pushy. And then I openthe car door, close it again, I
turn around, I say to the woman,I just need to tell you my
story. I've been looking for ahorse named spirit and you have
a buckskin Mustang. And shesays, and I've done nothing with
her since she was rounded up andI'll sell her to you. Wow. So
now I'll tell you the answer toyour question. Of what so what
(13:43):
happened was you've got anuntouched horse and I need to
get her to Massachusetts. So Igot quiet in my mind in
Massachusetts because how areyou going to get her on a
trailer? And the owner said meand my husband will trailer her
but it's we're gonna have tohurt her and you know heard her
(14:04):
and it was pouring rain and theywere supposed to leave by 1030
and so at about 830 At night Iget really quiet in my mind and
in my mind's eye connect to her.
And I say Honey, you know if youcould just please get on the
trailer I show her the trailer.
So they go out leave themselvesa half hour to get around the
(14:25):
trailer. They had backed it upto the gate of the pasture they
go out in the driving rain inthe dark. And there she is
standing at the gate in front ofthe trailer of lateral herd.
She's out with two other horsesbut she wasn't with them. She
was alone at the gates soakingwet, not even under the overhang
and they open the gate and sheloaded onto the trailer they had
(14:48):
to back her off so that theycould get it ready and then they
they let her get back on and shegot on Wow. So when you say like
What's it feel like to get Uh,you know, it was just that's the
epitome of what's possible,right. And then we get to the I
moved to go be with her with atrainer because I wasn't going
(15:09):
to send her by yourself and I,so he trained me to work with
her. And she's terrified oftrailers, we had to start from
the very beginning. But thatnight when I told her what was
at stake she got on.
So I'd like to speak aboutconnection. And so you're
talking a lot, that's such abeautiful story about
(15:30):
connection. And there's, youknow, a lot of animal lovers
listening to this. And, youknow, as an animal lover, we all
live with animals, and we feelvery connected with them. But
then this is like the nextlevel. So this is how I feel
(15:54):
with people. I don't take forgranted my intimate, like, the
intimate energetic ability thatI have. I honor it, I respect
it. And I truly feel it's ablessing. And so all humans have
the capability to connect toanimals this way, where you
(16:16):
could have an enriched life, ofconnection with your animal, or
an enriched life with yourconnection with the humans that
you live with, or the humansthat are around you, where we
can connect to them throughspace and time. And so I just
wanted to add to your beautifulstory. I do this with the deer.
(16:39):
So So I love I love this. Iactually don't have any animals.
And I don't have any animals. Ilove animals, because I go from
thing to thing to thing. And itwouldn't be fair for me to have
an animal. And so I That's why Ichoose at this point in my life
not to have animals. And myhusband agrees because we go
(17:01):
from thing to thing to thing.
But I do live in a very naturedriven area. And so we get Dr.
Wildlife, all kinds of beautifulanimals. So I call the deer in
my mind's eye. And I just, Ijust love it. And I don't even
like think of myself like ananimal communicator. So I guess
(17:23):
most people don'tbe after today.
Lila, do you do this at all? Areyou connected to those turtles?
Do we need to bring back up theturtles?
I don't. You know, I mean, Ithink that, you know, it's
really just based around thatlike time and stillness, you
(17:45):
know, like that. Especially, Imean, I think it would be
different in the horsesituation, because I'm very, I
try to be very aware of my ownenergy when I go to horses
because I feel like there. Butlike my cat who's just lying
around like no, I don't think,oh, wait a minute, wait a
minute, you've rescued a cat offthe rails. And I will tell you
that not only did I so we had acat, a different cat that we had
(18:09):
found in our backyard. Mydaughter found it. We took it in
he was a grown cat and therescue that trapped him for us
that will only trap him ifyou'll keep them so we're like
fine. We'll keep him he was likean old cat. He just wanted a
nice warm place to lie down. Sheloved him Tibet's he was old
when we got him got sick. pastyou know had to be put down. One
(18:31):
week later, I'm on the railtrail running. And for the first
time ever, I see a cat. And I'mlike, Ah, that's so weird. You
never see cats out here. And Ican't it's an Outback. So I keep
going. On my way back. There'sthe cat. He's on the other side
of the rail trail. And he'ssitting there and he's like
waiting. And as I slow down, hestarts meowing talking to me.
(18:52):
Yeah. And I'm like, Oh my gosh,what a funny cat comes right up
to me stands up on me. Likebizarre like cats don't do that.
Like this is the funniest cat.
And so because the girls weresad, I actually went home ran
home, got the girls drove backthere and brought them to show
(19:12):
them this funny cat like haha,Isn't he so cute? We snuggled
with him. We left like two dayslater, my daughter Grace is
like, do you think that catstarts raining? She's like, do
you think that cat is still outthere? And I'm like, No, he was
somebody's caddy had a collar.
He had a name tag. So I'm like,No. Well, it's raining so I
can't get it out of my head. SoI'm like, well, let's just go
(19:33):
we'll go and see if he's in thesame spot. Go to the exact same
spot sitting right there is thecat.
He knew you were coming. That'swhat Laura and I are going to
tell you. He picked you. Oh, hetotally picked us. I mean, no
doubt about it. But I called hisowner they had moved they had
left him on the rail trail. AndI was just like, how can you do
(19:55):
this? Like how can you leave himI'm like okay, fine. Now we have
a cat IHe knew he knew that if he if he
went back to that spot you werecoming. It was crazy. Mama's
coming. But what was funny wasthat actually, our mutual friend
had seen the very cat the daybefore. And he was talking to
everybody like, Well, anybodymade the real mother step
(20:18):
forward.
And I was like, Okay, I guessthis is my cat. Yeah, but we've
had him ever since. And thefunny thing is, he's never once
tried to go for the door. He'slike, Oh, I know what it's like.
I'm saying, oh, that's crazy.
You mentioned something reallyinteresting. The thing about
watching your energy, and thenworking with it when you're with
(20:41):
horses, you said, yep. And I andI do think that animals need us
to pay attention and to watchour own energy. And and I have a
little story from this morning,I was walking out of the barn
with spirit. And I had beenthinking about a friend that
I've lost recently. So I waspretty sad. And she was fine.
(21:05):
Her ears were forward. We'rewalking along. And then I get
out of the barn, and I run intosomeone I haven't seen in a long
time. And my voice goes up anoctave. This is all in
hindsight, I noticed. And I'mlike, Hi acting, very cheerful.
Look over and she's got her earsback like this. She's miserable,
her jaws tight. And so Istopped. And I said to the
(21:27):
people up, I did it again. I'msorry. I was feeling sad. And
she knows it. And now I'm fakingthat I'm fine. And I'm sad. And
her ears went forward bolt. Andthen I was able to say, but I'm
completely excited to see youglad to run into you. And
someone might have said, Oh,look what a brat she is. Or
(21:48):
she's being uncooperative. Butno, she didn't really want to be
standing right next to me when Iwas being fake. Do you know what
I mean? We have this opportunityfor these animals to change our
lives. And help us be better.
And so part of being open. And,Amy, you'll you'll know this
that one of the hardest thingsis just quieting your mind
(22:09):
enough to notice and to beright.
Yeah. So I have this littlething, a couple things that I do
when I teach people how toconnect. And the first thing is
we need to connect to ouremotions. I must say I don't
take everyone in my classes, I'mactually really picky. Because
(22:33):
you have to be ready. And wealso have to be ready. Certain
things need to take place sothat you attract light and
bright energies to so if ifsomeone's not ready, there's I
have suggestions. But whenyou're ready to get ready to get
on the path, right? And so whenyou're on the path, even if you
(22:56):
tap like the side of your eye,so not on the temple, in tapping
you it takes you inside yourbody, because you can hear it.
And this helps people that sayhow do I feel what what I need
to feel. And if you listen, youcan hear within yourself, the
(23:18):
tapping on the face starts totake you within yourself. It's
also very soothing. And so thisis the first step is really
listening to, you know, youryour feelings and how you feel
in honoring them. And you justtalked more about how you did
know how you felt. But we tendto hide for other people, when
(23:43):
that's part of our society is Idon't want you know, these are
acquaintance friends, and Idon't want them to know I'm sad,
right? Where you know, Lila andI have gotten quite close
through this experience of thispodcast, in Lila and I now tell
each other kinda like having ayuck day. I'm having a great
day, I'm having a blog day. Andit's very real. But it's, you
(24:06):
know, a testament to theseanimals, how they can bring out
the true authentic parts ofourselves that we hide in daily
life. And so like we heard yourcat when we first came on, and
your cat was probably like thistwo new ladies on the scene, I'm
feeling these these two ladies.
And you know, maybe like What'sthis all about? I can't see him
(24:29):
but I can feel them. You know,you just don't know until you
tune in and listen, per yardprofession, which I love.
And I was just gonna say likethere's so many sort of
practical purposes for this. Ithink about like animals that
are in shelters and are sort ofdismissed for behaviors that you
(24:50):
know, may or may not be like apermanent behavior that they
would have or like how useful itwould be for somebody with a
skill. Like you worse to come inand to help them, you know,
because people at at a shelter,I assume, you know, they make a
decision like that right? Like,yes, no, yes, no. And, you know,
dogs are, you know, mayberounded up from somewhere they'd
(25:13):
been out, you know, and theycould be scared or whatever, it
just seems like it'd be veryuseful to have somebody talking
to them.
I believe that almost allanimals can be rehabilitated. I
don't know, if you feel thatway, Laura. I also feel that the
majority, not all humans can berehabilitated as well. That's my
(25:36):
own personal Angel. Amy take?
Yeah. Well, Idefinitely get the majority of
my calls when there's an issue,right? Same here.
And yes, I, I do think thatsometimes rescues are one of the
places that you see the mostchange immediately, because they
(25:56):
finally get to talk about theirhistory. And so for example,
this week, I this Saturday, I'mgoing to the home of somebody
who has a rescue dog that islovely to all the family members
except her. And I imagine frommy past experiences that when I
talked to this dog, that in thehistory somewhere will have been
(26:20):
a woman that looks like her orsmells like her or something
that was not nice to the dog.
And that once this dog gets totell me about it, the behavior
will change. It's just likepeople, they want to get it off
their chest, oftentimes, I mighthave to say, Can you please look
at your new owner and see thatthat's a different face. Right,
that's a different energy,that's a different person,
(26:43):
because they carry the traumaforward. Wow, a lot of barking,
you know, dogs that bark, dogsthat
a trigger or wound, right. Butwe can't really move forward
until we move back a little bit.
So you gently show them there'sa wound, right? But now this,
(27:04):
this is a new owner and a lovelyperson that isn't part of that
wound. In some animals need tobe told that. And humans need to
be reminded of that, too. We dowhat's called displaced anger,
like when we just get angry, butyou're not really angry at the
person. It's great when I lookat someone and I say, you're not
(27:26):
really angry at me. Andsometimes it makes them more
angry. You think you're angry atme, but you're not really angry
at me? Yeah, that's beautiful.
So you go in and you tell the,you know, connect to the animal
and just remind them thatthey're in a safe space and that
they're loved in this new energyin this home, right?
(27:50):
It's both. I talk a lot aboutsending information and
listening. And it's firstlistening. So anytime I ever
connect with an animal, I alwayssay what would you like to talk
about? I make sure I don't knowanything about that animal
unless it's one of mine. And soif it's someone somewhere else
in the country, or anothercountry, they send me a
(28:11):
photograph, if I'm in theperson's life like with when I
saw Claire and Belle, then Iasked the owner not to tell me
anything, because that will getyour thinking mind going more
difficult. Yeah. And then Iconnect with the animal and I
say, please start talking liketell me anything you want to
(28:31):
know, I'm here with your mom oryour dad or your family. And I
let them start. And that'susually where the issue will
come up. So it would be I lovemy family, but I know they don't
like my barking and I want totell them why I bark or, you
know, I love this barn. But Ican't get along with any of the
(28:53):
other horses or you know,whatever it is.
What is your favorite story thatyou have or a favorite? Like
Jeff's gonna say, Oh, no way.
I'm a mind reader. I love that.
There's so many I'll tell you afunny one. I was called to talk
(29:14):
to two goats. They lived on afarm. They peed all over the
yard. So there were yellowcircles everywhere. And they
pooped on the deck loudly and sothe deck every night every day
had to be swept and in betweenthe boards was good. And the
(29:36):
owners were like we want toleave you out and give you
freedom, but this cannotcontinue right.
So I said listen, I haven'ttalked to goats before. Now I
have talked to many goats andactually they're incredibly
easy. They give up theirbehaviors easier than I would
say dogs or horses. But anyway,interesting.
(29:56):
I talked to them and I I said,What's going on, and the goats
said they love to poop on thedeck because you can hear it
fall. If anyone knows aboutghost, goat poop, it's little
hard balls and they hit. Andthey love to hear how much
they're making. And then thepeeing on the lawn. They just
this is what they wanted to do.
So I explained to them, yourowners don't like it. These are
(30:19):
the reasons. And the goat saysto me, what do you want us to
do? What are we supposed to do?
And the owner said, Go in thehorse stalls. So I have to tell
these goats who are free rangegoats that every time they need
to go they're going into. And ofcourse, I always start by
saying, Listen, I am imperfect.
At this, I make mistakes, youhave to filter everything you
(30:41):
hear through my voice throughyour own common sense before you
act on it. Right? And I also sayto these people, listen, I
cannot guarantee any behaviorchange here at all right? I get
a call from the owners later,the goats are driving them
crazy. Because every time theyhave to go to the bathroom, they
stand in the barn aisle, andthey bar for the door to get
(31:01):
open so they can go back.
We stopped there earlier stuff.
I mean, you can't even make thatup night. That is hilarious. Now
tell me this as as a psychic?
Are you telling them with yourwords? Are you telling them in
your mind's eye? You're tellingthem from from, like intention
(31:23):
inside your body? Are youvisualizing a conversation? You
know, I'm so into this.
So for me, what I would say andto anyone listening is pictures
are the best. It's a universallanguage. Yeah. So in this case,
all you would need to do is showthem pooping on the deck in your
(31:46):
mind's eye, right? Just play itas a movie. And then like with a
big cross over, you know, like,stop, and then show them in the
in the stall happy going to thebathroom in there. So I think
that's the easiest way, I thinknow that I've been doing this so
long, it's probably more of justconversation. But the but lots
(32:09):
of my students, they just usepictures, and it works awesome.
And then the beautiful thingabout that is you try it, you
see the results in real life,and you get hooked on the fact
Oh, I can do this. Yeah,it's rewarding, right? That it's
a result driven activity, orresult driven life path or
career path. I actually do thiswith in mediumship. I, you know,
(32:33):
when your grandmother comes in,or your dad, it's usually, you
know, if cause of death isnatural causes, then they'll
they'll stand and in my mind'seye, I see things and see images
and feel. But if someone passesfrom, let's say, a drug overdose
or a suicide, I actually have togain trust. And so it's much
(32:57):
more work for me, but veryrewarding, where I visualize
them at a bar, and I take theperson to a bar, and we sit on a
bar stool, and I pretend we bothhave a cocktail. And then from
there, I start to show them, I'mhuman, I'm not perfect, either,
(33:18):
that I carry negative humanemotions as well. And then the
energy starts to open up. Andthat's when I get the
information. So it's kind oflike my little trek is the exact
same thing. And I could see whyyou have to do this with animals
as well. Just to get on theirsame energetic playing field,
(33:41):
and then you uplift from there.
Right. So that's really neat.
I'm glad you explain that to us.
Thank you,Laura, when people start, are
they like with the animal? Like,if you wanted to talk to your
dog or cat? Do they have to belike in the room with you? Or
can they suggest not becauseit's so distracting? Oh, okay.
(34:05):
So when I had, I have made anaudio course called speaking
soul to soul. And when I when Ibuilt each exercise, it was
always you know, have a pen andpaper ready. Make sure you have
enough time. Find a place whereyou won't be interrupted, let
(34:26):
your eyes closed, let your bodynot hurt, get it, get it in a
relaxed state. And I help peoplequiet their mind. And then we do
the exercise. And I would saythat that's really important
because in the beginning, when Iwas learning this, you know, you
get distracted the phone ringsor somebody says something or
(34:48):
sneezes and all of a sudden, ohboy, I can't even concentrate
anymore. I've lost theconnection. And so and now I can
do it a grocery store. You know,it's like you dig a channel and
it's it's easy for I think Ithink that starting out is a
blessing. They give yourselfthat quiet time. And here's the
thing, animals do this with eachother all the time. They're good
(35:09):
at it. Yeah, we just have to getgood at it. So the animal,
wherever, if you have a dog andyour dogs in the living room,
and you're in your bedroom,relaxing, that dog knows how to
send any messages as far away asyou need, you just need to be
able to receive them. So that'swhat how I would describe why
it's important to not bedistracted and not be with your
(35:30):
animal in the beginning.
Wow. That's interesting.
That is interesting. Yeah. Doyou have any other stories you
want to share with us, Laura,there are so many beautiful
moments that are a point atwhich you realize that the
person and the animal areunderstanding each other. So I
(35:52):
want to try to remember a storywhere it's just that moment of
connection. I know one, I wastalking to a horse that had been
an Amish carthorse. And thosehorses have a purpose, right,
they have a job to do. And thatmight mean go 10 miles to town.
And this horse had an owner, whothought the horse was shut down,
(36:18):
didn't like her. The horsewould, if you let the horse
loose, would turn its back, andtry to get as far away from the
person as possible to relax,didn't find it, relaxing to be
with her owner. So I get quietin my mind. And, of course, I
didn't know this background atthe time, but I'm trying to
(36:39):
explain that. What she said is,no matter what she did, it was
never enough. That's how sheinterpreted it, she had blinders
on. So she couldn't look orprotect herself. She had to just
go no matter whether it hurt ornot. And if she slowed down,
there was the whip. And so shedidn't matter. She was a vehicle
(37:01):
in that situation. And so theonly rest she got is when they
would put her back in her stall,and she would get super quiet
and rest, or if she was out, butand people were never the
answer. And the moment at whichthat owner really stopped taking
it personally, and thought, Howdo I become like, I could cry
(37:23):
now? Like how do I be calm.
I'm gonna cry tothat safe space for this horse
who has no hope that I'm goingto be that it became, I'm going
to scratch her just where shewants to be scratched, I'm going
to give her a carrot. I'm goingto ask her to do something that
takes two minutes, and thenwe're done. You know, all the
(37:45):
things she could do sit thereand take a they're these fly
squishes and just keep the fliesoffer. You know. And so that was
a moment at which they were ableto stop this impasse and start
to befriend each other. And it'sthat's the kind of magic that it
just warms your heartthat is magical is no story. It
(38:07):
is beautiful. When I was in my20s We we had a family dog. His
name was Dylan. And he was agolden retriever. So he was a
redhead. And we're all likeredheads and my family. So we
called him like the fourth Fox.
(38:27):
So my maiden name is Fox.
There's three of us and thenDylan was the fourth and around
six or eight I think it waseight. He had kidney disease.
And he went into kidney failurewhich is kind of common with
Goldie's and he was very, very,very special, very intuitive,
very. I remember energetically,I actually felt he was my
(38:56):
sibling more than my human to.
And so he like if he had livedor had a different life. He
would have been a therapy dog.
He came to us at two so we hadhim from two to eight. So when
the day came, we had to putDelon down, my mom in the men
left my brother and my dadcouldn't handle it, which is
(39:20):
fine. And my mom and my sisterwho aka of the strong ones at
the time, just couldn'temotionally just we're done. So
I get Dylan into the car. I putmy mother and my sister in the
car I drive in I take every thefour of us to put him down at
(39:42):
the vet. And when we got to thevet, my mom is very, very strong
willed woman and my sister istwo. They both looked at me and
they said I can't go in withthem. So I went in with them.
And he them So I told them withmy words that this is your end
of life. And I'm gonna cry, I'mgonna cry and I am going to help
(40:08):
you crossover. And so we cantake this out if we have to Lila
Oh, so I knelt down on the floornext to him. And he started to
cross over before he was evereuthanized. He just he knew and
like, I just rememberenergetically going with them.
(40:30):
But I had such peace because hispassing was peaceful and he
didn't suffer. So I've kind oftaken that. He taught me that
now moving forward, especiallywith humans, that I just feel my
own personal belief system isthat no one deserves to die in
pain. I believe that animalsdeserve to die with dignity. And
(40:54):
I believe humans deserve to diewith dignity. And that's just
what Dylan came to teach me.
Among many other things, I'msorry, I made you cry. Yeah, so
he was a beautiful soul. And soI've had left a few surgeries in
my lifetime because I am now inmy late 40s And those things
(41:14):
happen. And every time he comesto me Olara and he lays next
like I can feel him I mean, I ama medium we know this but it's
just just everyone anyonelistening to this if this makes
it onto the podcast just knowyour your deceased animals are
(41:34):
with you at all times in justthinking about them calls them
in. And so I hope that bringssomeone peace that's listen, you
know, that's listening to this.
Because it's hard to lose ourour pets and our animals. You
Yeah. So on that bright light,no, sorry, Lila. Alright. So
take that out. I'm so sorry.
(42:00):
Lila,you know, in some ways, that is
a happy story. Because you didwhat your what your dog really
needed from you. And you werethere and your dog wasn't alone.
I think that's very, verybeautiful.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Sojust leaning into like, it
needed to be about him and notthe humans. Right, because of
(42:21):
course, we would keep himforever. But that's not what he
needed. And I think he can teachus all that is like how to
release someone you love withlove. It's so hard. It's you
know, when they punch you in theface and you hate their guts.
It's like really easy to be likeBye, Felicia. But then when
(42:42):
they're just like these, likebeautiful, soft little, you
know, animals or Dylan was like90 pounds. But, you know, he was
he was a really, I almost saidgood person. Like, I feel like a
person was inside of thereinside his body. Yeah. Well,
I think that's one thing aboutanimal communication is that you
(43:03):
start to realize these animalshave a full range of emotions,
full life, memories, hopes anddreams or reason for being with
you. Aches and pains, wishes.
There's just this, this hugeamount. Sometimes when I have a
new client, I speak to thatanimal for a whole hour.
Usually, because there's so it'sso rich.
(43:28):
What so what do they take youthrough their day? I'm not being
fresh. That was a long time. Butit happens. Usually I will when
a client calls they say, youknow, start making a list of
your questions and yourconcerns. Because after I
listened to what the animalwants to say, then the person
gets to ask anything they wantand also tell the animal
(43:53):
anything they want, right? Butoftentimes, what the animal
talks about is the person'slist. Because they're not
stupid. So by the time I say,Okay, and what questions do you
have, a lot of times a personwill say, Well, I just have this
one little thing I'm going awaynext week, can you tell them but
other than that, you know, thethings that are of monumental
importance, or oftentimes ananimal will start by saying, I
(44:17):
love my owner, but we're havingsome miscommunication, that kind
of thing. Yeah, so they get itand they know what they want to
talk about. So not not It's notusually what I do in a day, like
you said, but it is the brasstacks. I had I had a dog in
(44:37):
France. You won't believethis story. I just I love
there's so many differentstories but darling friend
says she's making me thisabsolutely disgusting. Food that
is meat covered and fat. And Ihad to say this to this woman
I've never met she's on thephone me and I say I see this
(44:59):
bowl. or, and it's just it'salmost like a little bit of a
hamburger cooked. And thenthere's just this fat. She's
gonna think I'm crazy into this.
Oh, yeah, the vet says he needsmore fat in his diet. And so I'm
making these things. And then Ihad to say, you know, you this,
this is why he's not eating itbecause it's just disgusting to
him. Yeah, it's very, it getsvery funny.
(45:23):
It is, I'm sure. And so theyteach us to how to meet them in
the middle. And or meet themwhere they are, right, how to
meet the animal where they are.
And then also, how to have adeeper understanding. Because a
lot of people get findthemselves in a country, like a
(45:44):
control battle, like withanimals, and it just becomes
about control, like who'swinning, you're not doing what I
said. And instead, we can justmeet each other in the middle.
Do your cats do this? Well, nowwe've we've we've brought a
daisy into your life. Right,Lila?
(46:04):
Well, and that's, you know, oneof the things that I'm trying to
do differently with Daisy thanI've done with any other dog is
trying to as opposed to you havethis weird mentality. I think,
like, you gotta make the dog dowhat you want, like a well
behaved dog does exactly what Isay no matter what, you know,
and, and she's very sort oftimid. And so if you, you know,
(46:28):
raise your voice or anything toher, you know, she's like, Oh,
and you feel awful. So I'm like,Oh, God, I had a point of never
doing that. But just allowing itto be okay, that she doesn't
like snap to what I say. Nomatter what, you know what I
mean? Like, obviously, if shewas like, running out into
traffic, like that would be adifferent story. But most of
this stuff is like, stop eatingmy shoe. Or, you know, I mean,
(46:50):
it's, it's pretty trivial. Butit's a weird mindset. Because
you don't you you think a welltrained dog just does exactly
what you say no, no matter what.
RYAN It's very one way. Yeah,totally. That's what we're
learning from Laura, right. Allof us is a two way
street. The number one thingthat I run into when there's
(47:13):
what we would call misbehavioris pain. Oh, which then makes
the animalirritable? Is it physical pain,
or emotional pain, or,most often is physical pain,
okay? And that could be forcats, too. You know, she's
really snappy, she's this andthen I get quiet in my mind. And
cat has a terrible stomach acheor has some kind of issue that
(47:35):
you can't see. So physical painis a big one. And I would say to
people listening, you know,trust your gut, if you feel like
there's something off about youranimal, then really try to
pursue what you think that mightbe, and get it looked at and
taken care of. So yeah, physicalpain causes irritability, which
then causes you know, anxiety,which then causes barking, or
(48:01):
kicking or scratching, whateverhappens, because when a animal
feels less than it's that kindof thought of a wild animal
trapped in a corner or trappedin a trap. They get frantic, and
then they their personalitychanges. Do you know what I'm
saying? Oh, I'll talk to a horsethat people label aggressive.
(48:25):
And it turns out, they've gotlike a monumental headache. And
it's because they slammed theirhead against the trailer. And
now the bones of their head areslightly off. And so they've
been not right, since but you goto a chiropractor, or you get
the vet to do an x ray. And allof a sudden, you realize, oh,
yeah, this is what it is, andyou fix it. And the personality
(48:45):
goes back to what it was before.
Wow.
Yeah, so I tell my husband thatthe reason why I can't pull the
lottery numbers is because Iwould take all the money and
release the orcas at SeaWorldand set them free, or hire
(49:09):
people that could gently getthem ready to be released.
Right? Because that I'm surethat's a process. So we don't
have to lean into that becausewe don't need to be sued by
Disney, but whoever, whoever itis, whoever owns SeaWorld, but I
you know, I just think thatanimals this is this opens all
(49:31):
of our eyes to how sensitiveanimals are and how maybe
ignorant we are as humans andhow, like this is 2022 and we're
on we you know, right now we'rekind of touching the surface
with this, but this little GenZ's and alpha generation are
(49:52):
built for your world. Like thisis their right in tune with the
animals and communicating withthem. and feeling the vibes.
They they're just they're gonnatake SeaWorld down you wait.
That's my own personal opinion Iget a little passionate. Yeah.
So this was great it was I know.
So glad you came today, Laura. Ireally enjoyed it. Yeah. So how
(50:18):
can people find you contact youlearn about more, you know,
learn about what you do.
So I have a website. It's www LPor Plunkett LP connections.com.
And that has some greatresources. There's a blog, I try
(50:39):
to write about things that willhelp people do this work. We
have a Friends of LP connectionFacebook group, so that people
can write in and ask questionsand help each other with their
animals and practice. And then Ilike I said, I have this
speaking soul to soul audiocourse, that's available. And
so. And what I would say aboutthat course, is that it's
(51:03):
important to understandeverybody can do this. You don't
need a course, you have aninnate ability to open.
Sometimes having someone leadyou through it, as I did that
first weekend, helps you unlock.
So if you're listening, and youfeel like I just need a tool, I
just need a next step, then thiswould be a way to do it, which
(51:26):
is go and there's a video on thewebsite that explains what you
get. And we were just jokingbefore the before the podcast
started that I'll put a couponin. If you write in ginger tea,
you can have 25% off. So withthe body, of course will cost 75
instead of 90. Thank you.
(51:51):
Yeah.
So we'll do that for listeners.
And if you take anything fromthis, I just think it's start to
be open in your heart, quiet inyour mind when you're around any
animals. Like you said, it couldbe the deer, it could be a bird
that lands near you, it could beyour own animals. But the more
that we just become present, andpay attention to what they're
(52:13):
communicating. It just opens upa whole new heart space, and
it's really a beautifulexperience.
That's uplifting. Yeah, that'shopeful. Right. Well, thank you
